lpv:translated text	"Mr President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, this subject is a classic example of where regional policy and foreign policy coincide. In this regard, we need to show the necessary flexibility to enable us to implement regional policy – including with the experience of regional policy that we have within the European Union – but at the same time also to combine this with foreign policy ideas. This is not an aggressive act against anyone or a question of zones in which we want supremacy, but it is a classic example of an area where we can develop a strategy in which we recognise that border regions have always been zones of conflict, including within the European Union. If we succeed in successfully tackling border regions so as to eliminate minority conflicts and social and economic divides and hence make the transitions smoother, it would bring about an enormous degree of stabilisation from a wider foreign policy perspective. If, as the European Union, we also achieve closer relations with these countries then this seems to me to be important. Commissioner, I believe that with a lot of what we need to develop – namely to also incorporate neighbourhood policy better into a strategic concept and not get bogged down in technical details, and I have the impression that this is the aim of your work – the different opportunities we have to make progress here can be combined in one specific approach. I would therefore like to invite you to also view this in a wider context as a strategic concept and perhaps also to take it into account in your team. You will have our cooperation. Implementation of the administrative flexibility that is needed for this – as what applies to one country does not have to apply to the next one, and if we have Russia on board in this, we will perhaps have to have a flexible solution here, too, that cannot be found using a catch-all method – is difficult for any administration. However, you can count on the fact that we are prepared to do this. If you bring us your assessment of this matter that is scheduled for the end of the year, we will happily add our insights in a hearing or by other means, to enable us to develop a common strategic concept for the Union for the benefit of the citizens on both sides of the borders."@en1
